Game Thread: Naval Academy (0-0) at Mason (0-0), Tuesday, November 5th, 7 PM (ESPN+)

[Falco]

Johnson looks explosive

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

So we can't shoot and our defense doesn't generate offense....Not good....Steve Kolbe calling the game. He used to call the Caps games. Reminds of the pre-Ovie Caps teams. Boring and bad.

 

[GMUYoda]

2 pts scored total in the last 9 minutes by our "offense"

 

[Bricker]

Paulsen being out coached by Mr Ed. Don’t hate our new defense. Do hate our old offense that still is in play. More XJ and Miller less Oduro and mar please.

Navy is really really bad Btw. They look as bad on tv as they do in person?

Yes.

Offense is offensive. Zero assists so far. Gross.

 

[Herndon]

I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened to Mar.

LOL, just as I write that he makes a nice pass

 

[GMUYoda]

I think that was the best play run by Mason in the entire first half there... which is sad

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

His confidence seems to be less than zero.

 

[GMUgemini]

Who pegged Xavier Johnson as the leading scorer at the half? If Kier were healthy, Greene is definitely on the bench at this point and he might come in after XJ.

XJ our leading scorer at the half with 8

Freshmen have potential and I like all of them. The defense looks okay and generated some turnovers.

but if you can’t shoot, and you don’t score for 8 minutes in a half, that’s not a good formula for success.

 

[Falco]

I’m going to try to be more positive this season. Hopefully they shake off some rust, and come out strong in the 2nd half.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

The best team in all of Fairfax!

Paul VI then us.

 

[JimP]

I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened to Mar.

He doesn't even look to shoot. Geez - I remember him hitting some three's as a freshman.

 

[GSII]

Why isn't Bill Roland on the ESPN plus broadcast? I'm pissed at this change.

 

[sleeperpick]

Really?

Not watching same game as me. He’s not as bad as I said but damn I would never use like in a sentence about his game. Reminds me a lot of Danny Dixon. Like his hustle. Not good at basketball per say

 

[mkaufman1]

That’s more like it

he’s lightyears more coordinated quick and has much more ability/IQ than Danny Dixon. But we will probably have to agree to disagree.

 

[Falco]

I like the jerseys

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Well, this is better...I like the 3/4 court press mixup there.

Yikes. Would love a convo about this quickness. He boxes out like a pro. Just not seeing the rest.
